# BugMe vs ADHD Timer

The clearest difference is update cadence: ADHD Timer at every 8 days against BugMe's every 6 weeks. ADHD Timer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). BugMe's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BugMe sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and ADHD Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ADHD Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BugMe has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

BugMe ships an update every 6 weeks, ADHD Timer every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
